INTRODUCTION, 



The Legislature, at its session of 1874, passed an Act entitled 
"an Act amendatory of and supplementar}- to an Act to cre- 
ate the office of Commissioner of Immigration and Agricul- 
ture, and for other purposes," approved April 6th, 1874, au- 
thorizing the Commissioner of Immigration and Agriculture 
to have printed in a proper form a description of all the lands 
held by the State for taxes, and lands held by the United 
States, subject to entry under the laws of this State, and the 
Homestead Laws of the United States, together with such in- 
formation relative thereto as will tend to induce Immigration. 

In accordance with the provisions of the above recited Act 
the Commissioner presents this pamphlet to the public, and 
requests that its contents may be perused with care and with 
profit. 

THE POSITION OF THE STATE. 

The geographical position of the State is described as fol- 
lows by Wailes, in his admirable Report of the Agriculture and 
Geology of the State: 

"The State of Mississippi lies between the thirty-first and 
thirty-fifth parallels of north latitude, with the addition of 
that portion Ij'ing between the first mentioned parallel and the 
Gulf of Mexico and Lake Borgne, and east of Pearl river* 
On the west it is bounded by the Mississippi and Pearl rivers, 
and on the east by a line dividing it from the State of Alabama, 
which is drawn from the mouth of Bear creek, on the Tennessee 
river, to the north-western corner of Washington county, Ala- 
bama; and thence south to a point on Grand bay on the Gulf 
of Mexico, about seventeen miles due west from the Bay of 
(5) 



6 

Mobile. The State also embraces the islands in the Gulf with- 
in six leagues of the northern shore, the principal of which 
are Home, Ship, and Cat Islands. The width of the State 
along the northern boundary is one hundred and twenty miles; 
on the sea shore seventj^eight miles, and along the 31st degree 
of north latitude one hundred and eighty- six miles. The 
greatest length from north to south is three hundred and thirty 
miles. It embraces an area of 55,500 square miles, or 35,520,- 
000 acres." 

POPULATION. 

The population of the State, as appears from the census of 
1870, is 827,922, or about 14 inhabitants to the square mile, an 
increase of 36,G17 over the Census of 1860. This increase in 
the population was, as the records show, largely domestic im- 
migration. The State has never before presented inducements 
for the encouragement of immigration, and in consequence 
thereof millions of acres of fertile lands, situated in ever}^ part 
of the State, invite thrifty and industrious settlers to an inde- 
pendent competence. 



AaRIOtJLTtJBAL RESOtJiRCES, 



Itt order to present an interesting view of our productive 
qualities we have divided the State into four geological sec- 
tions, as follows: The Mississippi Bottom; the Marls, Lignites, 
and Green Sands Sections; the Prairie Country; and the Pine 
Timbered Region. 

TllE MISSISSIPPI BOTTOM. 

This section represents the great body of alluvial lands in 
the Mississippi Delta, and contains about 4,000,000 acres of 
the richest and most productive soil in the State. It is com- 
posed of the counties of Tunica, Coahoma, Bolivar, Sunflower, 
Leflore, Washington and Issaquena, with portions of the coun- 
ties of Warren, Yazoo, Holmes, Carroll, Grenada, Tallahatchie, 
Panola and DeSoto. Cotton is the staple product of the 
State, and in this section the yield is enormous, averaging a 
bale and a half to the acre. Corn and potatoes also grow in 
abundance. 

The "Bottom Lauds," so called, otherwise included in the 
term Delta, having reference to the best cotton section of the 
State, in depth and fertility of soil, are only equalled by the 
valley of the Nile. This soil never exhausts, and requires no 
fertilisers to maintain its richness. Reference is made to the 
statistics to show the fabulous magnitude of the productions 
of this section, and yet scarcely one-third of its area is under 
cultivation. When fully reclaimed and made productive, the 
Delta of the Mississippi, largely within this State, is capable 
of sustaining a nation. The productive power of thes j lands 
is not only of national but of international interest and im- 
portance. Purchasable now at what is really a nominal value, 
he who soon becomes the owner of a reasonable body of the 
bottom lands of Mississippi, will, with the growth of our 
State, find himself the possessor of a princely inheritance. 
The entire possessions of many a European Prince cannot 
compare with some of the magnificent plantations to be seen 
(7)

in the counties above named. Personal inspection of these 
lands and an insi^eetion of the following statistics are earnest- 
13- invited:

MAPXS, LIGNITES AND GREEN SANDS. 

The counties composing this section are Marshall, Benton, 
Tippah, Tishomingo, Lnfayette, Itawamba, Yallobu3ha, Cal- 
houn, Montgomery, Choctaw, Attala, Winston, Madison, Leake, 
Neslioba, Scott, Newton, Lauderdale and Clarke, together 
with portions of the counties of DeSoto, Alcorn, Prentiss, 
Union, Lee, Pontotoc, Panola, Tallahatchie, Grenada, Carroll, 
Chickasaw, Monroe, Lowndes, Colfax, Oktibbeha, Noxubee, 
Kemper, Holmes, Yazoo, Warren, Hinds, Rankin, Smith, Jas- 
per, Clarke, Wayne, Claiborne, Jefferson, Adams and Wilkin- 
son. Cotton, corn, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, sugar, 
wheat, tobacco, indigOy turpentine, peas, beans, oats, fruits of 
all kinds, including many varieties of grapes, are grown suc- 
cessfully within this broad and productive area. 

On the line of the railroads market gardening is carried on 
extensively, and early vegetables are shipped to northern mar- 
kets, where a ready sale is made, and good prices obtained. 
For health, this section is, perhaps, the best in the State or in 
the world, it being high and the air dry and bracing. Timber 
is plenty, and easil^^ obtained for either building, fencing or 
fuel. The lands can be either rented or purchased at very low- 
figures, and upon easy terms. Stock is easily raised and but 
little care is necessary. We seldom have more than one snow 
in one 3'ear, and our winters are so very mild that farmers cul- 
tivate the soil the entire year. The average price of lands in 
this State is five dollars per acre, and, considering its immense 
and great productive qualities, affords to the poor man, parti- 



6 

cularly, inviting prospects no where else presented. In short, 
a home for rich or poor, with all the adornments of fruit, shade 
trees, shrubbery and flowers, atforgied by a bountiful climate, 
can be created in Mississippi in a shorter period, and with less 
expenditure of labor and capital, than any where else on this 
beautiful earth. 

PRAIRIE COUNTRY. 

The world-famous prairies of Mississippi run through the 
counties of Kemper, Noxubee, Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Colfax, 
Chickasaw, Monroe, Lee, Pontotoc, Union, Prentiss and Alcorn. 
This section of the State is gently undulating, heavily tim- 
bered, and with water in abundance. The soil is black and 
rich, growing corn and cotton in abundance. The Mobile and 
Ohio Railway runs through the entire prairie section, from 
Mobile to the Ohio River. The climate is perfectly healthy, 
and during the heated term is daily visited with the most de- 
lightful breezes, which produce a cooling and pleasant effect. 

Land can be purchased here as reasonable as in an3' other 
part of the State, and upon as liberal terms. This, taking into 
consideration the splendid facilities offered in transportation, 
presents to the immigrant an acceptable location for a home, 
where he and his family can dwell in peace, and by earnest 
labor obtain a livelihood with an ease and certainty not ex- 
celled by any other country. 
G— S 



PINE TZMBEBED BEGIOIT. 



This region is composed of the counties of Jackson, Har- 
rison, Hancock, Pearl, Greene, Perry, Marion, Pike, Amite, 
Franklin, Lincoln, Lawrence, Covington, Jones, Simpson and 
Co[)iah, with parts of the connties of Wayne, Jasper, Smith, 
Rankin, Hinds, Claiborne, Jefferson, Adams and Wilkinson. 
A description of this section of the State is very ably pre- 
sented by one of our most distinguished citizens, long well 
kn'^wn in the political and literary annals of the State, in a 
series of letters to the Pilot, over the non de plume of " Mod- 
erator." We insert them here, and ask a careful and thought- 
ful perusal: 

THE PINE WOODS OF MISSISSIPPI RURAL LIFE — THE RESOURCE* 

OP THE COUNTRY. 

The whole country east of Pearl river, and south of the 
northern line of Covington county, may be designated as the 
"Pine Woods." The entire region is remarkable for its salu- 
brity. People make a comfortable living with so little effort 
that their energies are not exerted, and the country does not 
improve like those sections \yhere there are more difficulties to 
overcome. A young man marries a fine, blooming, industrious 
girl, who knows how to rear poultr}^ make cheese and butter, 
ply the wheel and shuttle, and do up her own and her husband's 
apparel. He begins life with half a dozen cows, a pair of 
oxen, a pony and an ax. His wife's dower is a feather bed, 
three or four quilts, a frj'ing pan, a spinning-wheel, and a tew 
fowls. He chooses a settlement five or ten miles from any 
other; builds a camp; then cut down the sapling pines, strips 
off the bark, calls in the neigiil)ors for twenty miles round, 
and in one day they complete his cabin of one square room. 
This contains the bed, table, a row of shelves, and his long 
rifle hangs over the fire-place on wooden hooks. In one corner 
stands the spinning-wheel, seldom silent, and on the shelf, near 
(10) 



11 

the door, a water bucket and gourd, one or two milk piggins, 
scoured as fair and bright as sand and water can makt; tlunn. 
A small "truck patch," and a little field planted in sweet pota- 
toes, rice, and a few i)lants of inciigo and tobacco, lay ailjoining. 
A sparkling spring bubbling near by, from its bed ol" ferns and 
rushes, supplies the purest water, and the lightwood for resin- 
ous remains of the decaying pine), furnishes fuei and brilliant 
light. Here they live without expense. In many instances 
the land belongs to the Government. He pays no tax, no law- 
yer's fee, no doctor's bill, and needs no raone}'. The woods 
abound with deer and turkeys, raccoons and squirrels, opossums 
and patridges; the 3'ard with fowls; the livinir brooks with 
fish. His cattle range over a thousand hills, up to their shoul- 
ders in grass or succulant reed-brakes, requiring neither shel- 
ter nor winter forage, and, in the sea-board counties, not even 
salt. These supply his table, and the wild bees, reveling amidst 
a boundless variety of flowers, provide for him, in many a hol- 
low tree, the most aromatic honey. 

Visit this young couple five 3'ears aftcward, and \'ou will 
find an addition to the dwelling ; a loom in the rear, under a 
shed; the herd increased to fifty or a hundred; the fireside made 
joyous by the bright e3'es and gladsome voices of three or 
four white headed little ones; as like each other as so many 
peas. Mem.: I never saw a child in the pine woods witii dark 
hair. 

During all this time he has never had a fever; never been 
within fifty miles of a doctor; never been called to a funeral. 
The rose on the cheek of his wife is even more beautiful than 
when he first wedded her, and, aided by her thrift and cheered 
by her smiles, he has lived comfortablv, not expending over 
ten d(jllars a year, while his little capital has quadrupled; and 
all this without wearing physical labor or anxiety of mind. He 
is, in fact, a practical philosopher. He feels none of the surges 
that sway the busy world. From day to day, events flow oii in 
the same smooth channel, without a ripple on the surface. His 
temper is unruffled. He seldom hears a sermon, but he sees 
G.)d in "the sunshine and the shower," and the smiling stars. 
The great volume of nature, spread out before him, in sky and 
forest and river, with the changing seasons, and the phenouivnia 
of vegetation, provide occupation for his mind, and he finds 
himself growing richer and wiser ever^'' year, without any new 



12 

tastes or vicious habits, and without making any struggles 
for riches. Can there be a happier than this dreum-like life ? 
They are, indeed, the most contented and virtuous people in 
the world, exempt from debt and litigation, living plentifully 
and hospitably, and with no lock or bolt on door and window. 

The soil of this region is generally thin, interspersed with 
emMll tracts of fertile land. Grass of the c6arsc, rank species 
peculiar to pine woods, grows luxuriantly, and upon it the cat- 
tle feast and fatten. In winter they find a rich pasturage in 
the cane and reed-brakes, and in marshes and ravines, and the 
long moss that hangs from the drooping limbs of the swamp 
and live oaks. Horses, cattle, mules and sheep may be bred 
with profit, and without stables or grain. But the great source 
of wealth for this section must ultimately, be the trade in lum- 
ber. It is thickly p'anted with a vast forest of yellow pine; 
on low lands with pitch pine ; on lower and water lands with 
meadow pine — all valuable for sawing. Then on the watiT- 
courses there are large bodies of white oak, water oak, hickory 
or gum, of many varieties and of gigantic proportions. The 
swamps are studded with juniper, cedar and cypress. Finer, 
straighter, loftier trees than these forests can show, are no- 
where found. For a hundred and fifty miles on a stretch, one 
may traverse these ancient woods, and see them, as they have 
stood for countless years, untouched bj^ the hand of man, 
scathed only b}^ lightning or the hurricane. This growth of 
giant pines is unbroken, save where rivers or large creeks in- 
tervene, and then we find oaks, chestnut, gum, hickory, dog- 
wood, sassafras, poplar, ash, beech, magnolia, white bay, elm, 
maple, box-elder, linn, and blackberry of colossal growth. 

Water puwer, of great capacity and unfailing, is abundant. 
But no railroad taps it, and the district and its resources are 
unknown. No country is more favorable for railroads. For a 
hundred miles or more it slopes to the sea-shore. Numerous 
streams, with their level valleys, run in the same direction. No 
mountains to tunnel. No rock to blast. The surface is dry 
and solid, and the heart of oak or pine are close at hand. And 
A capacious harbor, ready for the reception of the road.

PASCACrOULA AND ITS ATTRACTIONS — OYSTER BKEKDING — CAPACI- 
TIES OF THE COUNTRY' — MR. DUCAYETTE's EXPERIMENTS. 

There is no mf)re delightful place on this, or any other sca- 
coast, than East Pascagoula and its surroundings. Its location 
is beautiful, and the salt-water bathing perfect. It is renowned 
for its o,ysters — for flavor, fatness, and size they are equal to 
any in the countr}'. The bayous and creeks here seem to be 
specially adapted to the growth of first-class oj'sters, and the 
bedding and breeding of them might be made a remunerative 
enter|irise. I wonder it has not atti'acted attention and capital, 
when we know how successfully' and extensively the business 
is followed in Europe and at the North in localities, and under 
circumstances, not near so favorable. In this view, there are 
many lagoons and bayous between Pascagoula and Mobile, 
that would become valuable. The production would be im- 
mense, but there is no limit to the demand. The whole North- 
west migtit be supplied with oysters of a higher grade than 
they can find tiiere, and the shipraent in the shell, in cans, aad 
in pickle, pould give employment to many hands and bring a 
great deal of money inf^o the countr}'. 

I have spent many happy days at Pascagoula, at various 
times, enjo3Mng the hospitalities of Maurice and Antonio — Ijrtth 
first class artists, priding themselves on their science and in- 
vention. Their tables were generally served in the French 
st3de, and their dishes after the most famous Parisian recipes; 
but ever3^ n(»w and then, under an inspiration, they improvised 
a chef crouvre, that Vathel himself, miirht env}'. Who will 
ever forget their portage a la tortue, their ^jurte de gibier, filets 
de j9omy:)'aio, fricasie de poulefs, dindon a la financier, and 
ealade unique — tiie child of their own brain — an inspiration of 
their own genius — in comparison with which all other salads, 
whether French, Spanish, or Italian, are insiped and tasteless. 
Tliese gentlemen, or their successors, it is presumed, are yet at 
Pascagoula, and if so, I advise all gourmands to pay them a 
visit. Or whv should they not open an institute, and invite 
pupils to study the divine art, on which human comfort and 
health so much depend. 

You have asksd me, and so have numerous correspondents in 
the North and West, who have read my letters in the Pilots 
whether farming, fruitgrowing and stock breed cau be profitable 



14 

followed on and near the coast. Perhaps I had better tell 3^011 
what I saw, some years ago, in the vicinit}' of Pascagoula. The 
farm and pastures of my friend, Mr. F. Ducayette, consisted 
of about 6,000 acres, embracing Point Le Chene, celebnited 
for its game, and Baj'ou Casotte, for its oysters, that command 
a premium wherever they are sold. 

SHEEP. 

South Mississippi has the reputation of being peculiarly 
adapted to sheep. Mr. Ducayette showed me some imported 
Oxfordshire and Southdowns, uncommonly fiue, designed 
chiefly for mutton, as the}^ are a hard}', well formed breed, with 
a singular faculty for accumlating fat and flesh, in the exact 
proportion required for the table. Various crosses had been 
made with these animals. 

The cross on the Merino had lowered the qualit}' of the 
wool of the latter, but had increased the weight of both his 
wool and carcass. The cross on the imported Saxony had 
produced a beautiful and close-wooled sheep, and the cross on 
the native had quite changed its appearance and doubled its 
value. This enterprising gentleman had, likewise, procured, 
at great expense, and no little diplomacj^ a pair of Merino's 
from Rambouillet, of the isolated breed sent originally from 
the Escurial to Louis XIV, which have ever since remained 
the propBrt}' of the crown, and been preserved so pure that the 
Spanish breeders themselves esteem it a great privilege to ob- 
tain a buck to recuperate their flocks. Tlie celebrated sheep 
of Saxony consist of the Infantado or Niggretti, and the 
Electorals, all originall}^ from Spain, but greatly improved by 
high culture and feeding. The first were introduced when 
Spain and Germany were one; the latter were imported for 
the Elector of Saxony, m 1765. A first class buck, of either 
of these will command, in Germany, five hundred dollars and 
upward. 

CATTLE. 

INIr. Ducayette showed me imported Durhams, Devons, and 
Ayreshires, besides some short-horns from Kentucky, and 
«ome beautiful ^-earlings, crosses on the indigenous stock; 
heavy in the hind quarters, broad in the loins, wide across the 



15 

hips, straight on the back, deep in the brisket, small head and 
uei'k, and legs tapering like a lady's finger. The most remark- 
able animal was a 3'oung Brama bull, bred hy the late Clias. 
Mcllatton, of Baton Rouge, Irom a pair imported from the 
jungles of the Ganges. He was milk white, with red ears and 
tail, hair as fine as silk, of noble proportions, the muscles unu- 
sually developed, and of gentle disposition. His magnificent 
head reminded me, in its grandeur and majesty, of the head of 
Jupiter, by Praxiteles, and of Ovid's description of the same 
deit3% when, in the disguise of a bull, he undertook to carry 
oft' the daughter of Agenor: 

"Large rolls of fat about his shoulders clung. 
And from his neck the double dewlap hung; 
His skin was whiter than the snow that lies 
Unsullied by the breath of tropic skies. 
Small, shining horns on his curl'd forehead stand, 
As turn'd and polished by the workman's hand." 
His eye-brows rolled, not frantically bright, 
But gazed and languished with a gentle light; 
His every look was peaceful, and express'd 
The softness of the lover in the beast. 

In certain antigue intaglios, representing the combat between 
Hercules and the Cretan bull; and in the celebrated cartoon 
by Raphael, of St. Paul preaching at Athens, where a Roman 
sacrifice is exhibited in the bull about to be slain, in his grand 
proportions and general expression, one may almost fancy that 
the poet and the artists must have had in view some ancestor 
of this noble Pascagoula bull. The peculiarity of this breed 
from the Ganges, is the hump over the shoulders and their 
union of the strength of the ox — with the action and move- 
ment of the horse. These steers in harness will walk six 
miles an hour, and thej' move through marshes and mud with 
celerity. The breed would be invaluable to the South, and far 
cheaper than horses or mules, for the plough. 

HORSES. 

In the stables I noticed several fine mares, and a beautiful 
stallion by imported Messenger, out of a Morgan mare. He 
had been bought not with reference to the turf, but to improve 



16 

our saddle and htii'uess slOL-k. Willi sufli a sire, suuiLi AlitibiJi-; 
sippi might rival ancient Thessaly, 

"Whose generous courses of immortal breed, 
Sired by the winds, and like the winds in speed." 

HOGS. 

Ml". Ducayette had long tested every variety of hogs on his; 
famous stock farm on the Bayou St. John, near New Orleans, 
and he prefers the Suffolk and Middlesex, as most thrifty and 
prolilic. 

FOWLS. 

Every domestic fowl to be found in the four quarters of the 
earth, he had here on his farm. 



I observed the Seckle and Bartlett pear trees loaded with 
fruit; several varieties of apple; the jujube, French chestnut, 
quince and peach, all dwarfed by rigid pruning and fruiting 
finely; apricots, plums, and some fifty variety of grapes. 

GRASSES. 

An interesting experiment was going on with grasses. Tho 
disideratum is a nutritious and palatable grass that will stand 
heat and drought, which will furnish winter gi-azing and good 
liav. I noted the Paraguay, a great runner, the joints striking 
down rootlets, and matting the surface completely — valuable, I 
should say, on blow}^, barren, sandy land. Mofia grass from 
Hungary, with b'ades like our crop-grass, and heads like mil- 
lett, filling well in defiance of the protracted drought then 
prevailing. 

An East India specimen, with a rapier like blade, but succu- 
lent and tender, with an aromatic root, well adapted, I should 
say, for alluvial soils, imported by the late Gov. Roman, of 
Louisiana. A fine lot of Resare grass, a self-sowing grass, 
first found in the old Indian fields in Georgia. Sowed in Sep- 
tember it lurnishes a winter pasture; in the spring a heavy 
cutting of hay; and the second growth will yield seed (excel- 
lent for poultry) at the rate of ten to twenty bushels per acre. 



17 

bctaiucsi lepiuiiting iLseli'. 1 do not know ihe bolauicai ciiissjli- 
cation of tiiis valuable grass. 

This enterprising gentleman solved the problem of what 
can be done in South Mississippi. His experiments in farm- 
ing, in stock, in fruits, grasses, and in the chemistry and 
analysis of soils, and the composition and adaptation of fertil- 
i::ers, were invaluable. Such men, if they do not grow rich 
themselves, contribute even by failures, to the wealtli of the 
country. Every experiment is a step forward in progress and 
development. We profit by disaster quite as much as by suc*- 
cess. The moral courage — the perseverance — the liberality — ■ 
the science of one such man as Ducayette, is worth more to 
the Republic than a regiment of orators and politicians. If 
the example could be followed — if his spirit of improvement 
could be diffused — the extensive district of our State, between 
Pearl and Alabama rivers, south of latitude 31, would become 
productive and remunerative beyond all present calculation. 

As it is, I look forward to material progress with trust and 
confidence. Perfect order and good feelings prevail in this 
gection of Mississippi, The country is filling up with intelli- 
gent and educated men. Society at and around Pascagoula is 
cultivated and refined. Immigration is invited. The lumber 
trade has drawn here both capital and enterprise. It only 
needs tlie fostering hand of Government to make this point a 
great commercial mart, whose exports would enrich our whole 
interior, and whose imports from foreign countries would con- 
tribute materially to the national treasury. It is hoped that 
Congress and the Legislature will adopt a liberal and enlight- 
ened policy, and convert the great natural advantages of Pasca- 
goula and the vast resources of our pine woods into a national 
blessius.

HEALTH, 



While the subject of health is a veiy important one to the 
man who seeks a permanent home for himself and his family, 
it can scarcely be supposed that, in a publication like this, we 
can give a very minute account of the diseases peculiar to this 
State. To the general inquiry, "Is it healthy?" we unhesita- 
tingly reply "Yes." By this we do not mean to convey the 
impression that men, women and children do not get sick in 
Mississippi. Men get sick everywhere, and they die every- 
where; whether in the frigid, temperate or torrid zones; 
wliether on the land or on the sea; whether on the mountain 
top or in the valley. 

We may saj^ in general terms, that in the vicinity of our 
water-courses — in the great alluvial valle}' of the Father of 
Waters, and in the prairie counties, at certain seasons of the 
year, man}'^ of the people have intermittent and remittent 
fevers, and other diseases common to malarial districts; but, as 
a rule, these are easily controlled, and with proper precautions, 
may, to a great extent, be avoided. The uplands and table- 
lands are as exempt from disease as the most favored portion 
of the United States. We do not make these statements be- 
cause they ma^-^ look well in a report which is intended to in- 
duce immigration. We have the figurei* with which to prove 
what we say — that Mississippi, in |)oint of health, will com- 
pare favorably with any State in the Union. The mortuary 
Statistics, as recorded in the ninth census of the United States, 
will bear witness to the truth of our statements. 

By way of illustration, we will take, at random, four States, 
two northern and two southern, and see how they compare. 
Sn|)pose we take Illinois, Michigan, Alabama and Mississippi. 
We make two tables, one showing the total population and the 
total number of deaths in the year 1870, as follows: 

ILLINOIS. MICHIGAN. ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI. 

Total population. . .2,539,891 1,184.059 996,992 8l7.922 
Total deaths, 1870.'. 33,672 11,181 10,771 9.172 

(19) 



20 

It will be pui'ccived iVom the above, ihut itie ratio ol' d^.i»,Liis 
is very favorable for Mississippi, Taking Illinois for illustra- 
tion, we find, at the outset, tliat the population of that State 
is only a small fraction more than three times the population 
of Mississippi, whereas the number of deaths in 1870, in 
I'linois is nearl}^ four times the number in Mississippi. In 
fact, the figures show that while the deaths in Mississippi 
amount to one in ninety of the population, the deaths in 
Illinois amount to one in seventy -five. 

Keeping in view the relative population of the States, tlie 
same ratio will be found to approximate very closely in the 
following table, which shows some of the principal causes ©f 
death. For further particulars, we refer the reader to the 
census report itself;

OTJR SYSTEM OF PTJBLIO SCHOOLS. 



Public SL^hools in Mississippi were very rare previous to the 
war; Init since the State has been reconstructed an effective 
system lias been inaugurated, and it is daily growing into 
popular favor. There are only four out of the seventy-three 
counties in the State, that have not levied taxes for school 
purposes for the j-ear 1874. These are, however, vevy poor 
counties, and they depend upon the assistance that will be 
given them by the State, If the maintainence of public 
schools will induce immigration into the State, Mississippi 
will get her share, as the people are read}^ and willing to main- 
tain and cherish their school sj-stera. 

TEACHERS. 

There are employed in this State about three thousand teach- 
ers. iNIany of them are excellent scholars — graduates of 
Northern and Eastern colleges, academies and high schools. 
They are devoted to their work, and a commendable spirit of 
Emulation exists between the different counties to see which 
can secure and pay the highest salary to the best teachers. 
The teachers are also imbued with the same spirit, and labor 
zealously to make their schools completely successful. Many 
of the teachers employed are connected with some of the best 
white families in the State. And though not exactly accus- 
tomed to the work of teaching in the public schools — they 
never having attended them — succeed admirably, and became 
quickly adapted to Lheii' work. 

The average term of the public schools, in the cities and 
large towns, is nine months; in the country six months; and 
the average salary paid to teachers is fifty dollars per month. 
Principals of schools, in which there is an average attendance 
of one hundred or more pupils, get a salarv of one hundred 
(22) 



23 

dollars per school month, viz: twenty days. First grade teach- 
ers get from sixty to seventy-five dollars per month; and second 
grade teachers get from thirtj^-five to sixty dollars per month. 

SCHOOL HOUSES. 

In all the cities and large towns the school houses are com; 
modious, comfoi'table, neat, and have the most of the modern 
improvements, while in most of the counties the}' have from 
twelve to thirt3' plain, neat and comfortable school houses. In 
places where they have not a sufficient number of school 
houses, the authorities hire churches, or other buildings, for 
school purposes. 

RESOURCES. 

The resources from which the public schools are to derive 
their support would be ample could all of them be productive, 
and be given exclusively to the cause of public education. 
We liold them, however, in reserve, and in a few 3-ears we hope 
to be able to derive the full benefit of them. 

There is a State tax of four mills on the dollar levied upon 
the real and [)ersonal property in the State, that is used exclu- 
sively for the payment of teachers' salaries. It is the duty of 
the County Sui)erintendents to make an estimate of what the 
above levy amounts to, report the same to the Board of Super- 
visors of his county, and they are compelled, by law, to levy 
for a sufficient amount to meet the deficit that may occur be- 
tween the amount the State levy will raise, and the amount re- 
quired to pay the requisite salaries to the teachers. In addi- 
tion to these, the money derived from the sale of licenses to 
retail vendors of liquor and keepers of dram shops, is appro- 
priated to the Common School Fund. This fund the law re- 
quires to be invested in government bonds, never to be 
diminished, the interest of which is to be used for common 
school purposes throughout the State. The money deiived 
from the redemption or sale of lands belonging to the State is 
used for the same purpose. 

The interest on what is known as the Chickasaw School 
Fund amounts to about twenty-five thousand dollars per 
annum, and is used in twenty three counties. The sixteenth 
section of every township in every county also belongs to the 



24 

common schools, but the}' were leased a quarter of a century 
ago for a long period of years, and in many cases the money 
was stolen or squandered. A portion of it, however, yields an 
income still, and assists materially in supporting our public 
schools. It would be safe to say that about a million and a 
quarter of dollars are spent annually in support of our public 
schools. 

OTHEK SCHOOLS. 

In addition to our public schools, we have at this writing, two 
large, flourishing Normal schools, for the purpose of training 
teachers for the public schools. These schools are 
supported by the State, are provided with an efficient corps of 
teachers, and are doing efficient service. 

We also, have two universities that receive large annual ap- 
propriations from the State, and are rapidly educating our 
young men. 

With the hearty co-operation of the people, an efficient 
corps of teachers and county superintendents, we hope to 
niake the public school system of Mississippi second to no 
other State in the Union. 



TAXATION AlTD FIITAITCE. 



There is uo subject in wliich all the people of a State or 
community' are as vitally and personally interested, as that of 
taxation. All are interested, because all are required to bear, 
to a greater or less degree, its burdens. 

As this is true of those who are alread}^ citizens of the State, 
so is it also of those who may desire to become citizens and 
purchase property, or engage in any of the various enterprises 
involving the investment of labor or capital. To induce this, 
one of the first and most important steps to be taken, is to 
show b}' facts and figures that what are usually designated as 
the "burdens of taxation" are light and bear equally and 
justly on all classes. To do this is the object of this article, 
and in no better way can this be done than to give briefly and 
concisely a statement of the financial condition of our State 
at this time. Being just in the midst of the financial or fiscal 
year, it will be difficult, or in fact impossible, to give the exact 
figures, but the}^ will be near enough for all the practical 
purposes of this article.

The above statement shows a levy of 6| mills for current 
expenses, and 3:^ mills to pay bonded debt and interest, 
making a total levy of 10 mills, or one per centum, on the as- 
sessed valuation of the taxable property of the State. In ad- 
dition to this there is a tax of 4 mills levied upon the taxable 
property of the State, designated and known as a Teacliers' 
Fund, amounting in the aggregate to $490,000. This fund is 
collected and distributed pro rata among the several counties 
of the State according to the number of educable children in 
each, and is suflicient alone to employ and pay 1000 teachers 
for six months in the year at a salary of $75 00 per month 
each. The several counties pay on an average, for county 
purposes, a tax about equal to the State tax, making a total 
for State and county purposes a lev}- of from 2-\- to ?> per 
centum on the valuation of the taxable property. In some 
few counties the per centum is greater on account of aid voted 
to railroads and the building of courthouses or jails, but 
only in a few is this the case. Taking into consideration the 
very low value at which property, real and personal, is assess- 
ed, this showing compares most favorably- with the rate of 
taxation in other States; and but few, if any, can make a more 
favorable exhibit. Besides this, there is every reason to be- 
lieve that the present rates can and will be materially reduced 
b}^ wholesome legislation at the coming session of the Legis- 
lature in January next. To accomplish this greatly to be de 
sired result, should, and doubtless will be, the earnest endea- 
vor of every department of the present State Government to 
the end that enterprise and capital may seek an investment 
among us, and the material interests of the State p'-onioted 
and advanced, 



MANUFACTTJEES. 



Manufacturing interests in Mississippi are stili in their 
infancy. Several factories, located in cliflereut parts of the 
State, successfully turn out shirtings, sheetings, 3'-arns, and 
other cotton goods. Possessed ot remarkable facilities for the 
establishment of factories, an inviting field is presented to cap- 
italists to make profitable and safe investments. The follow- 
ing figures, compiled from the census returns of 1870, show 
what has actually been accomplished:

It will be seen that this field of enterprise in our State 
would be almost without competition to manufacturers of 
practical experience. That such will avail themselves of these 
advantages is our earnest desire. 



LABOR AND ITS REWARDS. 



As in the case of other States which are almost wholly de- 
pendent for their productions, and hence for their annual 
profit and income and wealth, upon agriculture, Mississippi is 
anxious to secure labor. In fact, labor is the capital most 
required in the State, and the capital which will pay even bet- 
ter returns than any other investment capable of being made. 
Hence, it is for the advantage of the people to encourage the 
immigration of the laboring classes; as we hope, and are a^ble to 
show, it is for the best interests of the citizen and the 
mechanic, as well as the unskilled laborer, to seek our 
borders and make a home among us. In no other portion of 
the world can labor find better or more profitable employment 
than in Mississippi. Especially is this true reuarding agricul- 
tural laborers. Here you have the virgin soil, enricired by 
centuries of accumulations from the luxuriant grasses anil 
herbage, and the soil which has been cultivated, and all at the 
very lowest valuation possible. All it needs is labor to erect 
a log house, break down and cut oft^ the trees and the vegeta- 
tion, and the cultivation of the soil. No elaborate prepara- 
tions for the first few years. No great labor to erect a house 
to keep oft" the frosts, for it is never so cold as to freeze very 
hard in at least the southern portions of the State, and no 
great labor in irrigating and in enriching the earth. The very 
first year's labor sometimes realizes sufficient to give the small 
farmer enough to make himself comfortable for the future. If 
this course is not pursued, then working on wages for a year 
or two for a reliable planter will enable the immigrant to pur- 
chase land and erect upon it such buildings as his wants may 
demand. It makes no dirterence what a man's trade or calling 
may be, he can find employment at some price in all parts o'f 
the State. The prices paid may not be as high as in ^ome 
other sections of the United States, l)ut thev are reasonable as 
compared with the cost of livino-. Board for laborers is

cheap. Housekeei)ing, us it is elsewiieix', is lIk!;!!)!!!' and bet- 
ter, if the circumstances l)e [)i-opitious. The following list of 
prices for journeymen mechiinics. which we have taken some 
pains to collect, will be found correct. Where we have given 
but one price, it has reference to only first-class workmen. 
Where two or three prices are furnished, they allude to tirst- 
class, second-class and third-class workmen: 
Watchmakers, $15.00 to $20.00 per week. 
Hack-drivers, $35.00 to .$40.00 per month. 
Wagoners, in towns, $30.00 to 40.00 per month. 
Salesmen, in towns, $40.00 to .$75.00 i)er month. 
Book-keepers, in towns, $1,000.00 to $1,800.00 per year. 
Wagon-makers, $2.00 to $3.00 per day. 
Blacksmiths, shoers, etc., $2.00 to $3.00 per day. 
Saddle and harness makers, $15.00 to $25.00 per week. 
Tailors, $20,00 to .$25.00 (during business season) per week. 
Carpenters and builders, $2.00 to $3.50 per da^'. 
Boot and shoe makers, $12.00, $15.00 and $25.00 per week. 
Machinists, $2.50 and $3.50 })er da^-. 
Plasterers, $2.50 to $4.00 per day. 
Brickmasons $2.00 to $4.00 per day. 
Printers, 60c per 1,000 Ms, or $25.50 per week. 
Field lal)orers. $10.00 to $16.00 per month (and found.) 

Other (K'cupations do not differ materially from the prices 
paid at the North and West. 



ADS^IITISTBATZON AND STATE OFFICIALS. 



As may be judged from the character of its population, the 
State of Mississippi is at present Republican in its dominant 
politics, and it is fated long to remain so, provided the major- 
ity is permitted to rule. But it is not so partisan as to inter 
fere with any man enjoying his own opinions and giving ex- 
pression to them to the fullest and freest extent. In fact, 
among Republicans, no man meets ostracism or outrage for 
saying what he thinks and believes upon political topics. We 
say come here and settle, and labor for the interests of the 
State and for yourselves, be 3'ou Republicans or Democrats, or 
of no politics at all, and j^ou will meet a cordial welcome. It 
is not the question to be asked by Republicans, are j'ou rich ? 
Are you a Methodist, or are you a Baptist ? Are 30U a Re- 
publican or Democrat ? But, are 3'ou honest, industrious and 
truthfrl and fair-dealing in your intercourse with your fellow- 
man. All are welcome; all are needed. If you have capital, 
good; if 3'ou have no capital excepting your strong muscles 
and hard hands, still well and good. You are welcome to the 
best you can earn for j^ourself in the State. You are more than 
welcome; 3'our presence is desired. This is the feeling of the 
men and women forming the dominaut party in the State. This 
is the feeling of all in the State who are not blinded to their 
own best interests by passion and prejudice; and these latter 
are, from day to day and from year to 3'ear, growing less and 
less powerful in the country. 

At the head of the present State administration is Governor 
Adelbert Ames, late of Massachusetts, a man of foresight ex- 
perience and integrity. He has recommended, and the Legis- 
lature has originated and put in practice, a financial scheme 
which, if not interfered with, will soon clear the State 
from the limited debt now hanging over it, and place it among 
the most independent in the Union. Aided by the following 
(32) 



:iblo ana cllicient stati of otlic-ials. l.y a Legislature second to 
none in intelligence and devotion to State interests, the suc- 
cessful career of the State is guaranteed past question.

tion ; with skies that rival in beauty and softness the far- 
famed skies of sunny Italy; with fruits, birds and flowers and 
rare exotics that vie with those of any other clime; with 
water power, timber and other material in alnmdance, all that 
xMississippi needs is the presence of the people to enjoy and to 
till the land to make it the Paradis-B of the Western Hemis- 
phere.

CHUHCHES. 



Churclies of the several denominaLions are plentiful, and at- 
tended liberally. The Baptist and Methodist are perhaps the 
rnost numerous, while the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, "Disci- 
ples, Catholics and others have their share of attendants. 

STATE LANDS. 

The list of lauds printed in the appendix have been forfeit- 
ed to the State for non-payment of taxes. The counties that 
do not appear were not ready when this volume went to press 
but will be printed hereafter and copies supplied to these who 
may desira them. These lands are subject to entry under an 
Act entitled "an Act amendatory of and supplementarv to an
